Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I installed netatalk service in my server, but I canīt see it from a Mac workstation.
How can I test netatalk to check if it is working? Service is running, but nothing happens at Mac workstation.
At console I typed service netatalk status and I got:

Hello
I tryed to type my server IP at finder window and I was able to access its sharings. I can copy/delete/execute files from/to linux server, but (itīs always a but, at mac workstation, at chooser, when I click on appletalk icon nothing happens. I have to click on Server IP address button and type my server IP, which is 192.168.0.123. Its is annoying and time consuming. I have to do this every time I want to access my server.
At previously version, after I click on appletalk icon (at chooser), the server name comes up right away.
Does anyone have any suggestion?

I did not think Apple even used that Appletalk protocol any more. Must be some old old macs. If you can get a tcpip client for your Macs, it might be better. Remember that Appletalk, I think is not routeable. Are you going through a switch? The networking equipment has to support the Appletalk protocol also. The clients and the server should be on the same network. It has been so long since I messed with Appletalk. I think I remember something about setting up a seed so the stations have a unique number. When I had our G3's, we just used tcpip without a problem. Nothing I remember really needs Appletalk, but I could be wrong.

I take that back our ltsp server sent out packets to net boot the g3 's into linux after we quit using os/x. We ran the g3's diskless.

It is routable. There was a product called "Apple Internet Router" which has in fact nothing to do with the nowadays Internet (maybe originated from plain "inter-net"), which could route AppleTalk by a Mac which has several network cards. Nevertheless there was an add-on for it "AppleTalk/IP Wide Area Extension" to tunnel AppleTalk through TCP/IP. I used this at that time to connect the AppleTalk networks of two branches.

If I well understood your needs: you wanna see the icon of the server in your finder windows, don't you?
In that case, you need to create the file:
